We Conservatives cannot catch a break on global warming, er climate change can we? We are accused of not believing in science, even though we do. We also cannot catch a break on immigration reform. Take this post from Reaganite Republican for example. He puts up a post about Mexican women, namely smoking hot Mexican Weather Girls. Stacy MccAin then suggests we allow these immihrants to move to the head of the line to get into America. A suggestion I fully support by the way.

Years ago, I propounded Rule 5 — “Everybody Loves a Pretty Girl” — as one of the secrets of blogging success. And I have also stipulated that, despite my somewhere-to-the-right-of-Tom-Tancredo stance against illegal immigration, I’m firmly opposed to a crackdown on beauty queens who have overstayed their visas: Bring me your tired, your poor, your Miss Universe contestants yearning to breathe free.

HuffPost Latino Voices reached out to McCain and Krikorian on Twitter to ask why they would post and retweet a message that many Latinos would find offensive. McCain responded with the following tweet:

See, we just cannot catch a break! We try to help and the Sensitivity Police start wailing. Perhaps we ought to expand Stacy’s plan, and move ALL hot women who have overstayed their visas to the front of the line? Or would that be insensitive too? Or here is an idea. Maybe those that are so easily offended should toughen up, grow a sense of humor, and exhale every once in a while. Remember every time a Liberal feigns offense, a Mexican weather girl puts on extra clothing!

The Department of Justice has spent tens of millions of dollars this year to compensate more than two dozen states, counties and cities for their costs of jailing illegal immigrants — even though those communities have adopted policies that obstruct immigration enforcement, according to a recently released report.

“Subsidizing Sanctuaries: The State Criminal Alien Assistance Program,” a report from the Center for Immigration Studies, found that the federal grant program commonly known as SCAAP allocated $62.2 million — more than 15 percent of its $400 million total — to 27 jurisdictions that are widely considered to be “sanctuary communities.”

Some of those jurisdictions — including San Francisco, Chicago and California’s Santa Clara County — are even trying to opt-out of Secure Communities, a program that automatically alerts Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials when criminal illegal immigrants are booked into jail, according to the report.

UGH! Such absolute, abject stupidity! We are paying communities for the cost of illegal immigration, communities that are doing everything they can to attract those illegal immigrants! Does this make anyone else’s head com close to exploding!
